It's official. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles' no longer requires a letter stating a person has had gender-confirmation surgery, an amazing victory. Now people are able to correct their licenses gender marker enabling them safer, more accurate identification. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people.

This past week I was sent the unofficial, pre-press printout of the new BMV form. I was thrilled, like a kid on Christmas. My head was swimming with the possibilities, not just for myself, but for so many others. I opened the PDF and started to read.

I don't see what's so hard about following the SOC. Maybe because he's genderqueer and not transsexual? (no offense to any resident genderqueers)

If you are genderqueer, why would you want to go from an F to an M on your license,  it's just another label. Worse it would only create issues for you anyhow.
